    Foam cannon

    At the resort party the suds were all gone within 30 minutes of tjem stopping the cannons...granted it was pretty windy also. I tried to get info on what they used but it was in Mexico and there was a language barrier. The pool never got cloudy or looked like chemistry was effected

    Which Robot M600 or Polaris ALPHA iQ+?

    I trialed the Alpha iq+ and it did a good job but I ended up going with the epic 8640. It has tracks and 2 sets of brushes and hugged the wall better on my pool. The wheels on the Alpha would catch the coping and make it hop off the wall. I felt the software on the Alpha was good and it moved...

    Robot suggestions

    I just purchased the polaris epic 8640. Reasons I chose it over one of the maytronics are.... -It's a little smaller so it gets on my benches and steps a little better. -it's a track design which move independent from each other so it turns and maneuvers better. -The intake/suction inlet is...

    Online pool operator training.

    I belong to an organization that has a pool and has always paid someone to take care of it. They want to get me certified as a pool operator so that I can take over those duties and hopefully save them money. The health dept options they accept are a 3 day in person class (which I can't do...

    Convert lbs of chlorine to ppm?

    It was a guess...was a little over 30 but not quite half way between 30 and 40. When the pool builder added the salt Friday I expected they would adjust the cya. It appears they added calcium since its gone up. I'm going to get some stabilizer today and bring the cya up.

    Convert lbs of chlorine to ppm?

    the FC was 8ppm. I turned the swg down to 30%. My thinking is it will take a couple of days to fall down to around 5ppm.

    Convert lbs of chlorine to ppm?

    When lining up the level in the test tube do you look the bottom of the water (the concave portion) or the top line (what is close to the sides)? Are there any interferences with the test? High calcium, high pH, etc.? The pH was 8.2 this morning.

    Convert lbs of chlorine to ppm?

    You are correct...I meant chlorine test not salt. Thanks for the pool math help. It says 4.4 @50% for 24 hours. To make sure...that 4.4 is ppm? I ran the test twice this morning...which is why I grabbed a sample for the pool store. Now that I'm thinking about it I may have grabbed the sample...

    Convert lbs of chlorine to ppm?

    Salt was just added to my new pool. Trying to figure out what percentage to set the system at. I'm running the pump 24/7. When the builder started it they have it set at 50% now. Salt test was 5.5 last night but when I tested this morning I stopped adding drops at 50 which would mean my...
